I never have striven to keep up with either trends or the "Jones"
My home is clean and we eat well.I take note of the era my home was built in choosing furniture not what is currently in the stores.I do use up to date fabrics and any time saving goods...
I garden and keep my God's acre as beautiful as nature allows..

Those who have built a home then moved to build another and then another are here beside me..buying up plots farmers sell . one family are on their fifth new build.That is their lifestyle..

I prefer a poetry book to to a new lampshade/vase/whatever
